    Never been a better time to try meat alternatives like Quorn or Impossible, which likely will be far less risky compared to unregulated Upton Sinclair meat 2.0.

    Especially Quorn, which is made in Ireland and thus has to pass EU safety inspections.

      Don’t conservatives hate the fake meat industry? They will go for that and make it illegal next probably.

        Impossible has been harassed with shady recall and regulatory practices lately. I can hardly find their products anymore and they used to be everywhere where I shop.

      Feom what I can tell vegetables have been a lot more problematic recently. Though I’m just going from headlines.

        Gotta watch the veggies too. Vegetable crops on mass scale are often fertilized with liquid manure or liquified human excrement by spraying in the case of large scale farms near large metropolitan areas.

        Many areas that grow veggies also grow cattle and other animals which often pollutes with runoff, the water sources for vegetable farmers and meat farmers alike.

        No one is saved by this. Not the veggies or the carnivores. It’s bad all around. Quit infighting because you eat different food. You have a dictator controlling your government and courts.

        It’s easier to switch people to plant based meats than it is to cut out meat-like foods entirely and potentially abandon their cherished family or cultural recipes that involve meat.

        It’s all plants in the end, after all, with all the climate emission and health benefits that brings :)

        I still hate that we’re in the stage of capitalism where kids will only eat fruit if you slap a sticker with a Disney character on it first.
